Moviestop

Moviestop used to be the best. Now ²⁄₃ of the store sells «stuff» while all the movies have been mixed together and crammed to the side of the store. I used to be able to find almost any movie I could think of at a great price. Now I can’t find anything, which it’s just as well because the prices are the absolute worst and on top of that 99.9% of the time its used! So I could buy the same movie on Amazon (or Ebay or Walmart or Target or Best Buy) for 60% cheaper and it won’t look like it just came out of a wood chipper. Why would anyone buy at Moviestop anymore??? I only gave two stars because sometimes you can find a cool action figure or novelty item with the store credit you get for trading in movies. Even then, I would never pay for this stuff with my own money because I could find it all cheaper online (but I need to use the store credit so…)

Movie stop is owned by the same company that owns game stop and ThinkGeek. We came in here because we finally went through all of our DVDs and pulled out our duplicates and poor decisions so they could be traded in. We dropped everything off at the counter and the cashier explained how everything works. She’ll review our movies and provide us with store credit or we can take cash but the cash option is only something like 10% of what the store credit option would be. Obviously cash is not the best option in this scenario. Once she has the total she’ll find us and we can make our decision.
The store has really changed since the last time I was here and that really was years ago. Now only half the store is devoted to DVDs and the other half are novelty items you would find at ThinkGeek or a comic book shop. Movie stop is still getting brand new movies in but they are more expensive to purchase here than the Walmart next door. And the used DVDs they have… well it’s the same junk you’re trading in. Don’t get me wrong there are a few diamonds in the rough but not many!
When all was said and done we had a pretty good chunk of store credit but we only walked out with two movies. Everything else we purchased? Funko pops! On the day we were there if we spent so much on a novelty item we got another $ 10 in store credit. Honestly we couldn’t even find enough to spend the rest of our credit on and ended up giving it to a friend. But I will say everyone was really nice that worked there and took the time to help you find things and answer questions.

This place is rad! Fairly cheap movies. my only complaint is that this location doesn’t have the huge discount $ 1 movie section the other store does. Other than that I can spend hours browsing here.

This store /​company used to be great. Then they got bought out by GoHasting. If you made previous reservations before the buy out or put money down on anything it’s gone. And they don’t even care. I’ll be using what little credit I have left there and finding somewhere else to buy and sell movies.

This place reminds me more of a flea market of used films. One should probably not go in there expecting anything but to hunt for good movie deals. I have found some pretty good criterion collection films there, but «new» seems like opened and repackaged. Essentially it is a garbage dump with a whole lot of movies in it. To be fair, if you can’t find something in this store on-​line you are doing it wrong. Also, a lot of their movies are from closed down rental stores, so when it says used, it truly means it.

I went to Movie Stop a few months back to check on a present for a friend. They staff was so accommodating and helpful and went out of their way to call other stores/​locations to try to find what I was looking for. The service with top of the line. The only complaint I would have is the staff told me they would call me once my movie popped up in their system at any of their locations and they would monitor for me, I gave them all of my info… it’s been 6 months. No one has called me. Smh.

These guys are great! Funny, friendly, and very helpful! Thank you so much!

I drove an hour after calling to see if they had a movie. I got there, and when I couldn’t find it I asked for help. A young man looked around for 5 minutes then continued on with what he was doing without telling me he couldn’t find it. I told the other two people what I was looking for and they tried to tell me they had none! I expected them to hold one behind the counter since I had called and asked them to. Overall, very dirty store and rude, unhelpful employees.
